It wont boot up, light is stuck on green.
I have a rs232 to usb cable
- connected to laptop via cable
- started dreamup
- 'no connection detected aborting' is the message I get
Any ideas?

you better have to connect lan-cable also!
then power off box,start dreamup, after that turn power on at the dream!
My original dm500+S always sghows a green light when on + flickers red when working on...
if you dont have a null mode cable ,go to local pc shop,
you´ll get one for a fiver,,next problem would be if you have an rs232 port,
Meanwhile just try this for the sake of it....
unplug stb from the wall ..leave it for enough time to cool down @20 mins ..
then plug it back in and leave it be to sort itself out ,,,
fingers crossed ......
you mention dreamup but can you see it in DCC ???
If your trying to boot using network it wont work, make sure its not ticked.
As regards rs232 to usb may work if you configure it properly (what a pain)
seems to me like the box is bricked,cant get anything to work?
a last try!
look for newest version of dreamup!
try it with that
sometimes this helps
If you can get FTP access try flashing over the network with FlashWizard
how you connect cable direct to dm ,because that cable is male and you need female

Thanks but cant get any access via FTP :(
HAD this problem a few times matey ,get a null cable and connect it to your rs232 usb and plug other end into your dreamie and choose comport then plug in power lead then flash your reciever.jobs a gud un then.regards
Are you talking USB on laptop to rs232 on dm?
I tried this and it offers me com port 6 and 7 but neither find anything?
just find right port it must go with rs usb,but first plug cable then switch power and wait for few sec.
This is breaking my heart. Laptop not even discovering it when all is connected. :(
¿ if you had an old pc with rs232 port even better ,,null modem cable directly from pc to 500s...
if you don´t ,surely you know someone who does...

have right driver for that adapter cable usb-rs? it must working because i was use it earlier to fill sw in older rec.fta.
Update got connected via dreamup
flash erase
then flashed pli image to box but made no difference box wont turn on?
Lord give me strength
try few times unpl/plugg if nothing then try another image, if nothing try other power addapter, if still nothing then you have big sh.t
Ha ha I'm going for my dinner now before I f**k it into the bin unless someone wants it ;)
there is few electrolites inside, sometimes helps to change it, but no every time,try that if is no too late.
WellI dont know how but i got it going thank god thanks for the help everyone, best site on the net!
